Raised in an Army family, I went on after college to serve as an Army Aviation officer, serving most of my time in Germany. Upon exiting my service, I moved to Minnesota with the intention of getting an MBA in finance. I took a position with a small start-up that sold refurbished IBM enterprise servers tasked with developing and building-out their tech center. For the first two years, I was responsible for all back-end operations of the company. The owners offered me a position as a computer broker, which I accepted. What started as a job to pay the bills while in grad school led to a 20+ career with the company. I was the IBM Power systems product manager when I left, responsible for all IBM sales and inventory management.
